Swami Krishnananda Shashtyabdapurti Mahotsava Commemoration Volume
A Souvenir released on Swami Krishnananda's 60th Birthday
A Radiant Diamond
by H.H. Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati
I am very happy that Swami Krishnananda has become a radiant diamond. Salutations to H.H. Swami Chidananda who the Convenor of the Diamond Jubilee! I am a great admirer of Swami Krishnananda, so calm, so serene, so learned in the Upanishadic lore and so active as the respectable secretary of the growing Divine Life Society, Shivananda Nagar. To see him is to see the Vedantic Truth.
Aum is His name,
Heart is His home;
He is always calm,
Even amidst storm.
His brain is all Siva,
His brawn is all Seva;
While deep in study,
To serve he is ready.
Hail Krishnananda,
Ray of Sivananda!
A serious thinker,
A sleepless worker.
Entering sixty one—
Reverse sixty one,
He is ever sixteen!
A brain sharp, keen!
